VIGAN CITY, Ilocos Sur — A magnitude 5.0 earthquake hit various towns in Ilocos Sur and areas as far as Bontoc in Mt. Province and La Union towns on Monday morning.

State-run Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) said the quake struck at 9:36 a.m. at a depth of 10 kilometers. Its epicenter was located about 49 kilometers south 81 degrees west of San Esteban, Ilocos Sur.

PHIVOLCS said the earthquake was tectonic in origin.

Instrumental Intensity III was recorded in the City of Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Intensity II was felt in the City of Candon in Ilocos Sur, as well as Santol in La Union and Bontoc in Mountain Province.

Intensity I was recorded in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur and Aringay, La Union.

These lower intensity levels mean the shaking was weak and felt by only a few people in some areas.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. — Artemio A. Dumlao

This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
